Brig skips away with Carlisle honours

Len Lungo is considering the Towton Novices’ Chase in the New Year for Skippers Brig after the seven-year-old maintained his unbeaten record over fences at Carlisle.

The Wetherby event on January 31 is a likely target for the mud-loving individual should he get his favoured surface after he trotted up in the Pack Horse Inn Celebrating Wilke’s 60th Novices’ Chase.
